Site drives the stories in 'C'opera'A superior work of choreography and music plays off its loaded setting: the L.A. Police Academy.

It's the final scene of "C'opera," a fusion of movement and music that could have been cooked up only by Heidi Duckler, artistic director of L.A.-based Collage Dance Theatre, and her sister Merridawn Duckler, who also wrote the libretto.. . . "Code A. Moving Violation" featured Chris Stanley cavorting with a heavy bag while two police training films were shown. Singer Catherine Hay, clad in cop garb (costumes by Ryan Heffington), warbled to six recruits, demanding "full attention." . . .A bit of surreal serenity arrived with "Code B. Mr. and Ms. Demeanor" as Duckler led the audience through the watery rock garden.. . .Shots pierced the night as dancers slithered downward. Rising, they quivered only to fall again, executed souls populating a tortured tableau.
